Example choice is a teaching method that has been developed and explored at the University of Bergen . The main objective is to make mathematics and science education science teaching more interesting and relevant to the daily life of students. One study by Perkins, Gratny, Adams, Finkelstein, and Wieman found that interest in physics declined during a semester long introductory calculus based mechanics course. Whereas 19 of the students reported increased interest in physics, 45 reported that their interest in physics decreased. When interest increased, the leading reason was that students reported to see a connection between physics and the real world. Example choice aims to highlight the connection ... abstractly and then illustrated by an example. In example choice, by contrast, students are given multiple example tasks that all can be solved using the formal principle. The examples pertain to different topics, and each student is instructed to choose the most interesting example. This example is used to explain the formal principle. For example, when teaching the joint probability of two independent ... this procedure with an example e.g., throwing a dice twice .

Query by Example QBE is a database query language for relational database s. It was devised by Mosh M. Zloof at IBM Research during the mid 1970s, in parallel to the development of SQL . It is the first graphical query language, using visual tables where the user would enter commands, example elements and conditions. Many graphical front ends for databases use the ideas from QBE today. Originally limited only for the purpose of retrieving data, QBE was later extended to allow other operations, such as inserts, deletes and updates, as well as creation of temporary tables. The motivation behind QBE is that a parser can convert the user s actions into statements expressed in a database manipulation language, such as SQL . Behind the scenes it is this statement that is actually executed. A suitably comprehensive front end can minimize the burden on the user to remember the finer details of SQL, and it is easier and more productive for end users and even programmers to select tables and columns ... cited in research papers as an early example of this topic. Currently, QBE is supported in several relational database front ends, notably Microsoft Access, which implements Visual Query by Example ... j db4o2.html ref .

Merge to Hasty generalization date November 2010 Unreferenced date November 2006 Proof by example also known as inappropriate generalization is a logical fallacy whereby one or more examples are claimed as proof for a more general statement. ref http www.auburn.edu marchjl fallacies.htm ref This fallacy has the following structure, and argument form Structure I know that X is such. Therefore, anything related to X is also such. Argument form I know that x, which is a member of group X, has the property P. Therefore, all other elements of X have the property P. The following example demonstrates why this is a logical fallacy I ve seen a person shoot someone dead. Therefore, all people are murderers. The flaw in this argument is very evident, but arguments of the same form can sometimes seem somewhat convincing, as in the following example I ve seen Gypsies steal. So, Gypsies must be thieves. When valid However, argument by example is valid when it leads from a singular premise to an existential conclusion. For example Socrates is wise. Therefore, someone is wise. or I ve seen a person steal. Therefore, people can steal.

In the Mathematics mathematical study of partial differential equation s, Lewy s example is a celebrated example, due to Hans Lewy , of a linear partial differential equation with no solutions. It shows that the analog of the Cauchy Kovalevskaya theorem does not hold in the smooth category. The example itself is not explicit, since it employs the Hahn Banach theorem , but there since have been various explicit examples of the same nature found by Harold Jacobowitz . The Malgrange Ehrenpreis theorem states roughly that linear partial differential equations with constant coefficient s always have at least one solution Lewy s example shows that this result cannot be extended to linear partial differential equations with polynomial coefficients. The Example The statement is as follows On math mathbb R times mathbb C math , there exists a smooth complex valued function F t , z such that the differential equation math frac partial u partial bar z iz frac partial u partial t F t,z math admits no solution on any open set. If F is analytic then the Cauchy Kovalevskaya theorem implies there is a solution. Lewy constructs this F using the following result On math mathbb R times mathbb C math , suppose that u t , z is a function satisfying, in a neighborhood of the origin, math frac partial u partial bar z iz frac partial u partial t phi t math for some C sup 1 sup function &phi . Then &phi must be real analytic in a possibly smaller neighborhood of the origin. This may be construed as a non existence theorem by taking &phi to be merely a smooth function. Lewy s example takes this latter equation and in a sense translates its non solvability to every point of math mathbb R times mathbb C math . The method of proof uses a Baire category argument, so in a certain precise sense almost ... complex is exact. The Lewy example, however, shows that the math bar partial b math complex is almost never exact.

In computer science , programming by example PbE , also known as programming by demonstration or more generally as demonstrational programming , is an End user development technique for teaching a computer new behavior by demonstrating actions on concrete examples. The system records user actions and infers a generalized Computer program program that can be used upon new examples. PbE is intended to be easier than traditional programming , which generally requires learning and using a programming language . Many PbE systems have been developed as research prototypes, but few have found widespread real world application. More recently, PbE has proved to be a useful paradigm for creating scientific work flows. PbE is used in two independent clients for the BioMOBY protocol http www.biomedcentral.com 1471 2105 8 208 abstract Seahawk and http www.scfbm.org content 1 1 4 Gbrowse moby .

Unreferenced date May 2007 Moral example is trust in the moral core of another, a role model , without the obvious mediation of any theory or language. It was cited by Confucius , Muhammad , Mohandas Gandhi and other important philosophers and theologians as the prime duty of a ruler including the head of a family or the owner of a business. This is considered far more important in some philosophies than satisfying any ethical code that originates elsewhere although not more important than the moral code revealed by divinity or implied by compiling the lives of past moral examples, e.g. prophets, saints, righteous emperors. This view has been criticized as leading to totalitarianism and an overly trusting civics validated by history of China, India and Arabia to a degree. It is also true that since the exact circumstances and decisions of the lives of such moral examples cannot be reproduced or repeated, followers are often reduced to following their etiquette and customs, e.g. in ancestor worship . Since the lives of moral exemplars are not inspectable by people in the present, storytelling takes a central role in any culture built on moral example leading to the idea of a moral of a story . Taken to extremes, a complex culture built on such stories can soon fall prey to a clique of experts who interpret them for the lay public. This has led in the past to institutions that sort through anecdotes to decide which of them are true, e.g. isnad in Islam by which the hadith are validated. In modern life, celebrity celebrities are often criticized for failing to provide moral examples. They respond sometimes by saying, that they felt comfortable as an inspiration to others, but not as a role model .

Stein s example or phenomenon or paradox , in decision theory and estimation theory , is the phenomenon that when three or more parameters are estimated simultaneously, there exist combined estimator s more accurate on average that is, having lower expected mean squared error than any method that handles the parameters separately. This is surprising since the parameters and the measurements might be totally unrelated. The phenomenon is named after its discoverer, Charles Stein statistician Charles Stein . Formal statement The following is perhaps the simplest form of the paradox. Let &theta be a vector consisting of n 3 unknown parameters. To estimate these parameters, a single measurement X sub i sub is performed for each parameter &theta sub i sub , resulting in a vector X of length n . Suppose the measurements are statistical independence independent , Normal distribution Gaussian random variable s, with mean &theta and variance 1, i.e., math mathbf X sim N boldsymbol theta , I . , math Thus, each parameter is estimated using a single noisy measurement, and each measurement is equally inaccurate. Under such conditions, it is most intuitive and most common to use each measurement as an estimate of its corresponding parameter. This so called ordinary decision rule can be written as math hat boldsymbol theta mathbf X . math The quality of such an estimator is measured ... . Thus, Stein s example can be simply stated as follows The ordinary decision rule for estimating ... known example is the James Stein estimator , which works by starting at X and moving towards a particular ....
